Description

The Opportunity:

Design where the sun shines 264 days a year. Outside Productions Inc. (OPi) is an award-winning landscape architecture studio in Naples, Florida — a city named the #1 Best Place to Live in America by U.S. News & World Report. Here, outdoor living isn’t an amenity, it’s a way of life, which makes Naples one of the strongest markets in the country to build a career in landscape architecture.

Our portfolio reads like a wish list: luxury waterfront estates, five-star resorts including the Four Seasons, private beach clubs, and refined mixed-use communities across Southwest Florida. As a design-focused studio, our craft is exceptional design and the meticulous oversight that carries every project flawlessly from first sketch to final walk-through.

This role offers the opportunity to independently lead standout projects, build lasting client relationships, and shape the continued growth of an established, design-driven studio — with the autonomy and respect your experience has earned.
